Back in the day, the answer for me was a no brainer. Hell In A Cell.
If two guys were locked in the Cell, you knew you were getting an incredible match out of it. Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker, Mankind vs. Undertaker, Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels, the list goes on. Over the years, though, I don't think any match type has been ruined more than the Cell. The idea of making it an annual thing completely ruined it. This match used to be reserved for a huge blow off, the end of a feud. You solve your issues inside the Cell and it's over. When it became annualized, we stopped seeing Hell in a Cell matches. We started seeing matches that happened to have the Cell around the ring. It's terrible, and any 90's fan will agree with that.
Cage matches are always fun. Moving on.
My answer these days has to be the Elimination Chamber. They've been watered down, too, no doubt, but they've held up a little better than the Cell has over the years. For every Khali/Viscera/Finaly Chamber, there seem to be 2 or 3 Cell matches that just happen to have a cage over the ring. The original Chamber match from Survivor Series 2002 is one of my favorite matches of all time. Hell, that's one of my favorite events of all time. The follow up at SummerSlam 2003 was good, too. I don't think anyone saw the finish coming, with H retaining.
Part of me thinks War Games is going to win this poll, and I honestly expect many of the votes it receives to come from people who may have never seen a War Games match. It's a cool idea, no doubt, but the matches were never incredible. Obviously that's just an opinion of mine, yours may differ.
Let's hear it.

Nothing beats a traditional cage match when done correctly.

To me Steel Cage matches are not as exciting as they were back in the day due to the new cage matches created and the use of Steel Cage matches being used on Raw and Smackdown and Impact as oppose to being used only on PPV.
To me Hell In A Cell matches are not as exciting as they were before the creation of the Hell In A Cell Pay Per View, where it was just another gimmick match for a feud to go through in November.
To me War Games matches are just two Hell In A Cell cages. Maybe if they bring it back, and they have the right teams involved, I might like it again like I did back then.
To me Elimination Chamber is where it’s at as of right now!! The number of participants, the countdown, the mystery factor of who’s next to enter, all of it leading to a Main Event spot at WrestleMania, now that’s exciting!!

Right now its gotta be the Chamber. Steel Cage matches are underrated. 5 years ago I would have said the HIAC matches were the best but not anymore since we've seen a load of pointless, lame and boring Cell matches (Punk/Ryback 1 and 2, Taker/Kane, Orton/Sheamus, Punk/Taker, Cena/Orton, Henry/Orton).

War games no doubt- hiac with 2 rings- things the bomb. For you guys that don't know the chamber is based of war games.

I'd have voted D) All of the Above. But since that wasn't an option I fought with this for some time. I eventually voted HitC. Only for the sheer fact that we have had some excellent HITC match over the years.

Gotta go with Chamber. Not too familiar with the War Games so out of the HIAC, Chamber and a regular cage match; the chamber is the only cage that hasnt been altered yet. The new Cages suck in WWE. The HIAC is way too big. It's like wrestling inside of a house. Then the new cage is weird, IDK what it is about it that I dont like, just doesnt look as "threatening" as the old cage did.

WWE had a chance this year to make the Chamber interesting again with the 6 man tag match. Its grown a bit stale over 12 years.

I love them all, honestly. I guess if I'm forced to pick one I would say HIAC. It's still the coolest concept to me because you can go outside the ring and have the ability to go to the top. It has a lot more flexibility in storytelling over the other 3 imo. Plus, two of my top 10 favorite matches of all time, HBK vs Taker and HHH vs Cactus Jack, both took place in the cell.

The Elimination Chamber is the most exciting cage match type in WWE today.

All about the elimination chamber it's looks cool, the principle is cool and it sounds cool.

No love for Punjabi Prison?  I'm going to say any HIAC match before the new totally-enormous-may-as-well-not-even-be-there cell came in. |

Of All Time? Probably Hell in a Cell but these days Elimination Chamber matches usually end up better.
Both Match Types shouldn't be gimmick PPVs though, they should happen when it's a good time, not cause it's on the calendar.
Cage matches are really awesome too. These days they also beat HIAC matches because they actually take advantage of the structure.

Nothing beats a traditional cage match when done correctly. This. Doesn't matter whether its classic mesh or big blue bars. Proper build and story with a traditional cage match environment still holds up today. |
